Here is a tip to all who travel to the West End cafe. As I can be found in the cafe most Sunday mornings all year round at about 8am ( this provides a fairly plod free run to start the day ) , I feel I should share this info with you all.
I have watched with some amusement riders arrive on their exotic Italia costing many thousands of pounds more than humble SV's . They wear £300 alpine stars, £1000 plus matching leathers, £500 helmets and £160 gloves. With all this clobber on, they stumble about 100yds up the road where you can find several cafes open. This saves them 30p for a tea and 50p for the bacon butty. Once they are full, they return desperately looking for admiring glances from the poor souls who are unable to make such an arduous journey.
So if you are in need of saving a couple of bob, join the exotica and walk up the road. Frankly who cares what it costs, this is the start of biking heaven in any direction.
